Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.Before I start though, I do want to say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.1) This week was my Dad's funeral and whilst I didn't … [Read more...]
How the 50/20/30 Budget Method Helps You Financially….
Today I am going to share how the 50/20/30 budget method works and tell you how it can change your financial future forever.I've recently been trying a new budgeting method which a few people I know recommended to me - it's called 50/20/30 and I find that it’s an amazingly easy way to learn how to save and be financially savvy. It's not for everyone and I get that, there are lots of us who don't have the luxury of allocating funds to our financial goals and to unnecessary spending but for those who can, I definitely think it's worth a go to see if it suits your budgeting style more … [Read more...]

20 ways to love your leftovers….
Using up your leftover food can save you money as well as time so for today's round up post I thought I'd share 20 ways to turn your leftovers into a whole new meal....One of the things that makes me smile when I think about my lovely old Nana was how she could whip up a meal in the kitchen from practially nothing. There was nothing wasted and anything she didn't use for one meal was incorporated into the next one - she really knew how to work those leftovers.For years, I didn't even think about leftovers - if it wasn't eaten then it went in the bin (I know, I'm hanging my head in … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {6 April 2018}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.1) Mr Frugal and the kids have season tickets for our local football club and every year they have an early bird deal on where you get it cheaper if you renew by the end of March which as you may know is waaaaay before this season even ends, never mind the next one starting. It's such a saving that it's as if we were getting one of the kids' tickets free so we've made sure that we … [Read more...]
The Ultimate Stain Removal Guide….
When they were younger, my children would always be the messiest kids in the street. Not because I didn't take pride in the way they looked or that I didn't pay attention to their hygiene habits but because I really feel that letting children get messy encourages everything from creativity to confidence.The problem with mess though, is that it comes hand in hand with stains and no matter how much I wanted to encourage the kids to explore and create, I didn't want them to be ruining clothes on a regular basis. Rather than stop them from doing what kids do best, I just became a master … [Read more...]
